FAQs
How do I clean my Barbour International Kyra Jacket?
Always check the inner care label first. Generally, for a polyester waterproof jacket, light dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth. For a more thorough clean, a gentle machine wash at a low temperature with a specialized waterproof fabric cleaner (not standard detergent) may be suitable, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry or dry clean unless specified.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Barbour International Longline Kyra is primarily a waterproof shell and does not contain significant insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath to provide warmth while the jacket offers protection from rain and wind.
What does 'longline' mean for this jacket?
'Longline' indicates that the jacket is cut to a longer length than standard jackets, typically extending over the hips and often to mid-thigh. This provides enhanced coverage and protection from the elements.
Can I adjust the waist for a more tailored look?
Yes, the jacket features a full waist drawcord that allows you to cinch the waist to create a more personalized and flattering silhouette, enhancing its shape.
How do I ensure the waterproof coating lasts?
To maintain the waterproof coating (DWR finish), avoid harsh detergents when cleaning, air dry the jacket, and consider using a specialized reproofing treatment periodically when water no longer beads effectively on the surface.
What material is the jacket made from?
Based on available variant information, the jacket is made from Polyester, which contributes to its lightweight and waterproof properties. Always refer to your specific garment's label for exact material composition.
Is the hood removable?
Info needed: The product description states 'adjustable snorkel hood' but does not specify if it is removable. Please check your specific jacket or product tag for this detail.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to be fully waterproof anymore.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a reproofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof fabrics. Ensure all zippers are fully closed when in wet conditions.
The fit feels too loose or too tight around the waist.
Utilize the full waist drawcord located inside the jacket. Adjust it by pulling or loosening the cord to achieve your desired, flattering fit. Ensure it's evenly adjusted on both sides.
Hood keeps falling down or doesn't protect well.
Adjust the toggles or drawcords on the adjustable snorkel hood. Cinch them tighter to secure the hood around your face, or loosen them for more comfort and visibility. Ensure they are evenly tightened.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable.
This can sometimes happen with new waterproof garments. With wear, the fabric should soften slightly. Ensure you've adjusted the waist drawcord to prevent it from feeling too constricting. If layering, ensure your undergarments are not bunching up.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity. Always check the garment's inner care label for specific instructions.
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a gentle machine wash may be suitable for polyester materials, but always refer to the specific label. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Reproofing: Over time, the outer durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR reproofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide hanger to maintain its shape.
